A Knowledge Organiser is a simple, clear document that sets out the key knowledge your child will be learning in a particular subject or topic. It highlights the most important facts, vocabulary, and concepts that children need to know and remember.

Knowledge Organisers help pupils by giving them a reference point for their learning, and they help parents by showing exactly what will be covered in class. They can be really useful at home too—why not discuss some of the vocabulary together, quiz each other on key facts, or practise remembering important dates? Little conversations like these can make a big difference in helping children build confidence and retain what they’ve learned.

💡 Top Tips for Using Knowledge Organisers at Home

• 📖 Read together – go through the organiser with your child and talk about what they are learning.

• 🗣️ Discuss new words – practise using the vocabulary in sentences.

• ❓ Quiz each other – ask quick-fire questions on facts, dates, or key ideas.

• 🗂️ Keep it handy – stick the organiser somewhere visible (like the fridge or a noticeboard).

• 🔄 Revisit regularly – little and often is the best way to help knowledge “stick.”
